Termination

Termination

For the first part of this discussion, address the following:

• Think ahead about the processes you will go through to terminate treatment with your clients at the end of the quarter. 
  • How will you consider your clients' experiences with endings, as you plan for your own termination with them?
  • How will you assist your clients to make a transition to a new counselor, or make plans for other services or resources they may need after they end their therapy with you?
• Think of the relationships that have ended in your own life. 
  • In what ways might these terminations affect the closure of your cases?
  • How will you prepare to address any feelings or countertransference issues that emerge during termination with any of your clients?
• Are there any rituals or other specific interventions that you might include as part of the termination process? 
  • How do these interventions align with the theoretical approach you are using with these clients?
  • How will you know if they are effective?
